I run Lifelesspeople.com, a free webhosting site that strictly prohibits adult content of any sort.

Since August/September of 2003 I have used the same meta tag for keywords..


<meta content="free web host, free webhost, free host, free adless host, free host without ads" id="keywords" />


Now today I go to lookup my domain on whois.sc and I find some hilarious keywords.

http://www.whois.sc/lifelesspeople.com

Strictly the funniest thing I've seen all day. :D

oh boy........isn't that special.

when people search for "anal stretch" or "enema".....there you are.

not sure if you should laugh, or cry.

how did this happen?

Thats the funny part, I have no clue.

My site is monitored for defacement and uptime every 5 minutes.. so that isn't the case.

Havn't had any sort of server error to point it to the wrong page. (No adult content on the box at all anyway.)

Thats why I'm laughing, seems like a whois.sc glith.. a bad one at that. :D

hmmm......."anal stretch" or "enema".....

perhaps you should expand the extra features, and customer perks of your hosting plans.

LOL .... :D

I'm sorry man. I couldn't resist. ;)

yikes :eek:

I wouldn't have thought a mistake like that was possibile, and that if they had made a mixup then all your other data would be wrong also, but no idea how that happened.

Considering the words used it does seem more likely to be the actions of somebody else rather than just a mixup, whois.sc should give you the date the last image was taken, keywords were probally the same day, mabye check your logs.

On another note, i see they are displaying email addresses in the whois info as an image, when did they start doing that? never noticed it before. One less for the spam bots :)

Funny how google displays adults webhosts on your site but there are no references to adult web hosting?

Could it be that someone that links to you uses those keywords?

It seems to be gone/updated now, very strange.

Lets just say the keywords listed for his site were adult orientated ;) (to say the least)
